उत्तर
- Vitamin E is a very effective natural antioxidant.
- The phenolic – OH group present in the structure of vitamin E is responsible for its antioxidant activity.
- Also, the long chain of saturated carbon atoms makes it fat-soluble. Therefore, when vitamin E is added to packed edible oil, it prevents the oxidative rancidity of the oil.
